Hi Jason,

Thanks for your reply.

I told Myth to record a currently showing programme (The Weakest Link), with
it set to "Record only this showing" (appropriate for a film let's say).

The recording then showed up green in the menu to say that it was recording.

We'll then assume that the recording has stalled.

I then selected I->Stop Recording->Yes, Stop Recording.  The recording goes
white to indicate that recording has ceased.

I then selected I->Recording Options->Edit Recording Schedule.
It wasn't set to "Do not record this program", it was still set to "Record
only this showing".  I selected Save, nothing happened.
I tried I->Recording Options->Allow This Program To Rerecord, and nothing
happened.
In fact, if I deleted the program asked Myth to record it again freshly
through the schedules, nothing happened.  Nothing happened if I clicked
"forget old" either.  As far as Myth is concerned the program is already
recorded and no rescheduling or telling it to allow re-record will get it
recording again.  

For completeness, I'm running Kubuntu 9.10, Myth 0.22 out of the repos
(0.22.0+fixes22594), and the theme is "Mythbuntu widescreen".

All suggestions welcome, and thanks for your time,

MG
